About Ben Galley

My photo
Here is a person who still thinks dragons are just hiding. He won't tell you where, because that's a secret, but he will tell you about them in great detail. And it's not just dragons either. The persistent imagination of Ben Galley is a little worrying at the best of times, running around the page like an excited child who's been given too many ice creams. He has learnt a lot about elves, dragons, unicorns, aliens, ghosts, gryphons, and magic in the last few years, and now he's going to write about them...

Slice-tastic

Hello people,

Just the beginning of an idea I had while on the plane to Philadelphia, thought I'd slap it up on the ole blog! Enjoy....


“Two business jets crouched on the asphalt, quiet and unassuming. Squatting in the uncomfortable space between them was a black limo, windows darkened and chauffeur standing shivering in the rain clutching an umbrella as if it were his last remaining possession in a post apocalyptic world. He knew better than to try and peer through the smoky glass, to attempt to look at the shadows inside, so he watched the silent white jets and the splashing rain and gripped the ivory handle of the umbrella, wondering when he would be allowed back inside his vehicle.

Inside the limo, yellow cigar smoke hung thick in the air like the trapped fumes of a factory chimney, vapid and lazy, languishing amongst the hazy strip lighting and the 1964 Brut Pinot Noir chilling in the neat foldaway ice buckets. A smoke ring drifted out of the darkness towards the front of the limousine, and the dark figure there chuckled from a hidden face. The other two men smiled politely, tapping fingers quietly on knees and thighs to pass the time through the silence...”


Peace

Ben
